## Bugs
Check if it is already a known issue first https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=flatpak
Check if it is reproducible in the official tarball (preferably in a new profile or safe mode). If it is, open a bug with Mozilla, optionally use [mozregression](https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/quickstart.html) to bisect it.
Common troubleshooting help https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems
Otherwise feel free to open an issue here.
